INTRODUCTION
Horizontal communication, or GOOSE, as it is called in theIEC 61850 standard, can be used to enhance existing
medium voltage substation automation applications. Theirst way is by simpliying and decreasing the wiring inside
medium voltage switchgear, which helps to reduce costs.The second is by implement ing a completely new
application using Ethernet and GOOSE because ignallingresponse times rom device to device can be signiicantly
aster than traditional hard-wiring rom binary outputs to
binary inputs.
Traditional ly, the signal paths between protection and
control devices have been hardwired. In these schemes, theresponse time is constrained by the auxiliary relay on/o
delay o the sending device, and correspondingly by theinput iltering on the receiving device. Both these delays
can be avoided using GOOSE. Additionally, protection andcontrol devices oten have a limited number o binary inputs
and outputs due to cost and space constraints. WithGOOSE, a higher number o virtual inputs and outputs can
be used without additional device or wiring costs.
Enhanced perormance and capacity compared with theadditional costs in traditional systems open up thepossibility o introducing new and improved unctionality,
such as aster busbar protection and co-ordinated arcprotection.
Furthermore, GOOSE enables a more comprehensive
supervision o the system. With a hard-wired system, it isnot possible to know i a wire really is connected and
working, whereas all GOOSE connections are constantlymonitored, and any anomalies are reported to the substation
automation system. Thus, the receiving device can take
corresponding actions, such as shiting into ail-sae mode
or blocking some unctionality. Additionally, devices in testmode can be indicated using GOOSE communication and
thereore actions can be taken in the receiving devices. Thismakes testing easier and saer.
SIMPLIFIED WIRING
Traditional hard -wired medium voltage switchgear systemscontain extensive I/O wiring, connecting protection and
control devices, or two main purposes:
1. Signalling between switchgear bays. Typical signalsinclude breaker, disconnector and earthing switch status
signals, service and interlocking position inormation, andprotection start signals.
2. Signalling to and rom external systems, or exampleto RTUs or other automation systems. As well as most
o the signals listed above, current, voltage and powermeasurement signals are also included.
Extensive signal wiring constitutes a signiicant cost over
the entire lie cycle o the switchgear installation. Table 1
reveals the extent to which hardwired I/O signal wiring isneeded in a conventional 10-bay medium voltage switchgearinstallation.
Table 1. Amount of I/O wiring in traditional hardwired MV switchgear
system
Utilizing IEC 61850 and the GOOSE acility in modern protectionand control devices, a vast number o signals can be transerred
using Ethernet instead o hardwiring. However, Table 1 reveals that70% o the signal connections are to external systems. Though

This document describes the utilization of some new
features offered by IEC 61850, Communication Networks
and Systems in Substations. In particular, the paper looks
at how horizontal communication, commonly known as
GOOSE communication, between protection and control
devices can be used to improve the reliability and
performance of the system. Besides describing generic
improvements in capacity, performance and reliability, the
paper presents a practical GOOSE application, i.e.
blocking based busbar protection.

also incorporate GOOSE capability according to IEC 61850, the-
reby enabling high-perormance integration without hardwiring, ithas to be noted that most o the traditional feldbusses and com-
munication protocols, such as Modbus, and even the IEC61850-8-1 client/server profle do not perorm properly in deman-
ding load management applications.
Signifcant savings can be achieved i only some o these signals
are based on IEC 61850 GOOSE instead o traditional wiring. Aswell as the obvious reduction in material and direct labour costs,ewer wires result in savings rom several other areas.
The use o GOOSE signalling over an Ethernet bus instead o
binary signalling over hardwired cables decreases the number owiring diagrams required, which enables the switchgear vendor to
standardize the design and thereore streamline the productionprocess. The nature o the Ethernet makes it possible to use auto-
matic test tools to test the signal paths, whereas a hardwiredsolution would need signifcant manual intervention even in an
automated approach.
Extensive wiring is not costly in the initial installation, but becausethe whole switchgear is split into separate panels or transporta-
tion, inter-panel wires have to be reconnected and possiblyretested on site.
Furthermore, late stage or even on-site signal and logic additions
are possible with GOOSE without having to install extra signalwires or use spare I/O channels in the protection and control
devices.
PERFORMANCE OF A GOOSE SOLUTION
One o the essential preconditions or using GOOSE is thatit perorms adequately compared with a hardwired solution.In addition, due to the non-deterministic nature o Ethernet,
reliability has to be guaranteed under diicultcommunication load conditions. Both perormance and
reliability can be managed i the protection and controldevices are properly designed to use GOOSE signalling in
applications as critical as those o hardwired signals.
Performance
In a hardwired system, signal propagation delay
perormance is constrained by three main actors:
1. Output circuitry delay, e.g. make or break delay oauxiliary signalling relays, typically 8-10ms
2. Input handling and iltering time in the receivingdevice. Oten there is an additional ilter delay to
suppress spikes etc. caused by electromagneticdisturbance. This is normally adjustable in the
protection and control devices, but typical total values,including the input conditioning delay, are in the range
10-50 ms.3. Application cycle time o the protection and control
device, i.e. the requency indicating how oten the
device processes its I/O signals. Typically 1-50 ms.
By using GOOSE and Ethernet communication, the delay
types #1 and #2 can be omitted, but the communication
propagation delay needs to be added. As a consequence, i
GOOSE support is implemented properly and it ulils thehardest criteria o IEC 61850-5, the total propagation delay
can be signiicantly lower in GOOSE systems than intraditional systems. This beneit is used in protection schemes
described later in this document.
Testing the performance: blocking the incomer
protectionFig. 2 shows a typical distribution network primary substationwith two protection and control devices. Fault
currents are injected rom a network simulator usingrecorded ault current patterns and a simple network model.
The task is to measure how quickly the - incomer protectioncan be blocked in the event that the ault is on the outgoing
eeder.
Fig 2. Test arrangement to study blocking performance
Using a GOOSE based setup, the time taken to block the
protection stage on device A ater the ault current was
injected was 1520 ms. In contrast, with the sameprotection settings and a reasonable input ilter time o 5 mson device A, and using wiring rom device A to B, the time
measured was around 47ms.
To achieve minimum operating time but maintainselectivity, the operation delay o the high-set overcurrent
protection stage in device A needs to be set properly.Reduced signal propagation delay can be used to improve
the protection scheme.
Reliability under communication load
Even in a well designed system the devices mightexperience background Ethernet traic, such as sporadicqueries by engineering tools. And most signiicantly, every
untargeted device on the same LAN segment will see allthe multicast/broadcast traic - generated, or example, by
GOOSE messages - intended or other devices. The eecto this additional communication load on GOOSE response
times should be minimized. With modern designs andtechnology, e.g. using message iltering on the hardware
level, even high communication loads can be managed. Inthe ollowing diagram the GOOSE response time
distribution is depicted under a communication loading o
2,000 GOOSE messages per second on the network. Thesemessages were intended (subscribed by) or the devicesunder test. The response time was measured by two ABB
REF615 devices.

It can be seen that the response time perormance ulfls the stan-
dard criteria (specifed in IEC 61850-5, Type 1A, Class P2/3 mes-sages, 3 ms) even under heavy load conditions. It must be noted
that the times measured include up to 2.5 ms o the applicationprocessing cycle time o the REF615 device. This time is not
accounted or in the perormance measurements specifed in IEC
61850-5, but has to be taken into account in actual applications.
SUPERVISING THE SIGNAL QUALITY AND
STATUS OF HORIZONTAL COMMUNICATION
The strength o using IEC 61850 peer-to-peer communication
compared to traditional hard wiring can be ound inthe supervision unctionality and data quality handling.
GOOSE supervision works as illustrated in Fig. 4 . Datasending is event based and when a change in GOOSE data
occurs, a message is sent multiple times to the network toensure the data has been received. Message repetition starts
at Tmin and continues with IED speciic curve until the
message sent goes to heart-beat cycle Tmax. I the receivingIEDs do not get the message within a certain time (e.g.2*Tmax) the user is notiied. The IED application can then
handle the situation by changing the application values toail-sae ones, or example. The signal low between bays
with hard-wired connections is, however, not supervised.Thereore GOOSE signi icantly improves saety.
Additionally GOOSE data is sent with quali ty attributeswhich are used when interpreting the input value at the
receiver side. This inormation is used in the runningsubstations, as well as in switchgear actory and site tests.
Fig 4. GOOSE Supervision
In running substations the quality attributes are used todetect ailures in other IEDs and to act accordingly. For
example, i an IED sending GOOSE data has an oscillating
input, the data rom this input is marked as oscillating andthe IED receiving the data does not update the applicationdue to invalid data. Instead the preconigured ail-sae value
is used, thus making the system saer.
Quality handling can also be used in the switchgear actory
and site testing phases by setting the IEDs to Test orTest/Blocked mode. See Table 2.
Table 2. GOOSE Test and Test/Blocked quality handling
When testing GOOSE connections between IEDs in Test mode itis assumed the connections to physical processes are not active
as IED outputs to processes are activated according to the appli-cation. In Test/Blocked mode the IED outputs are not activated.
Both the sender and the receiver IEDs must be set to Test modeto be able to utilize GOOSE signal testing between bays.
BLOCKING-BASED BUSBAR PROTECTION
USING GOOSE
The GOOSE service o the IEC 61650 standard can be used
in blocking-based busbar protection schemes. In this newapproach the conventional hard-wired blocking signal pathsbetween the switchgear cubicles are replaced with a
substation-wide Ethernet LAN.

Fast and reliable busbar protection
By using GOOSE messaging an operational speed gain obetween 30 and 50% can be achieved when compared with the
operating speed o classical hardwired, blocking-based busbarprotection schemes. This advantage is entirely attributed to the
speed and reliability o the GOOSE service.
Blocking based protection schemes are well-known and widely
accepted. When a ault occurs on an outgoing eeder, the protec-tion and control IEDs o both the incoming eeder and the aultyoutgoing eeder start. On starting, the IED o the outgoing eeder,
however, blocks the ast-acting stage o the incoming eeder IED.On the contrary, should a ault arise on the busbar system, the
outgoing eeder IEDs will not start and the incoming eeder IED isallowed to operate ater a short coordination time delay and trip
the CB o the incoming eeder.
By transerring GOOSE messages between the IEDs intercon-nected with a local area network (LAN), the blocking signals can
be sent directly rom IED to IED without additional delays rom
the auxiliary relays or input flters. In complex busbar systems theblocking signals have to be routed to several objects. For hardwi-red schemes this means inserting auxiliary relays, which delays the
blocking circuit. This additional delay must be considered whenthe total operating time o the protection is determined.
By applying GOOSE messaging, blocking signals can be transer-
red to all the involved IEDs at once, and the ones to be blockedpick up the signal rom the message stream. When using GOOSE
messaging the total operating time o the busbar protection is in-dependent o the number o protection and control IEDs involved
and the complexity o the busbar system.
Adaptive and flexible protection
Applying GOOSE services to exible REF615 eeder protection
and control IEDs allows the busbar protection to beneft rom themultiple protection stages o the IEDs. REF615 contains separate
protection stages or the individual protection unctions. In thisway compromises stemming rom conicting requirements on a
certain stage can be avoided when determining setting valuesor the protection unctions. These circumstances are particularly
benefcial in busbar protection applications based on the blockingprinciple. The settings o the IED stage issuing blocking signals
can be reely determined rom the magnitude o the short-circuit
current, switching inrush current and the starting current o theeeder. The reach o the protection stage in a ault situation doesnot need to be considered when the protection settings are
determined. These eatures make blocking schemes a useul andeective means o implementing high-speed busbar protection in
distribution substations.
Fig. 6. Comparative table outlining the parameters affecting the
speed of blocking-based busbar protection schemes.
CONCLUSIONS
With IEC 61850 and GOOSE cost-efcient solutions can be built,as hardwired signal paths are replaced by a LAN network.
Utilizing IEC 61850 and GOOSE boost signalling perormance andspeed which surpass those o traditional hardwired systems.Additionally, the use o IEC 61850 and GOOSE provides increased
operating reliability o the protection through continuous supervi-sion o the communication and the data integrity o the GOOSE
messages.
Furthermore, exible protection schemes can be implementedthrough sotware confgurations rather than hardwired signal
paths. This makes the system easily extendable and reconfgura-ble on demand to meet the needs o protection system changes,
as well as changes in substation confgurations and network
topologies.
